Non gaming streams have their own categories, and they certainly add value. Everyone loved the Bob Ross stream when it started, but now there's something wrong with cooking or musicians? Some people who come for the sax player might get into games. Twitch has problems, but adding variety to their streaming platform isn't one of them.
There aren't less gamers on twitch because of non gamers. I don't even think game streams have suffered much as a whole.
